[quote=\"Dnls_mum\"]Just a reminder that even if you are allowed 2 pieces of luggages each on a full service airline, these luggages are subject to a size restriction. For SQ, it is not 20 kg per luggage, but max 23kg per luggage, subject to a max aggregate linear size for the 2 luggages depending on class of travel.

Not only SQ, i took EVA airline, also max subjected to 23kg per suitcase. This is to prevent the US Airport staff from injuring themselves when handling our luggage.

Does Eva air restrict the 2 bags to a max sum of length, width and height to 158cm per piece subject to 2 pieces not exceeding 273cm as well? I thought this restriction is impt to share here because it means for Econ class can only have one mid size and one smaller bag. Cannot be both also big. If pax just think it is by weight only, then may have prob at check in.[/quote]Here is what i got from Eva Air website
http://www.evaair.com/en-global/check-in-baggage-and-airports/baggage-information/allowances/

But i think there are special allowances for certain baggage bah....

Eva is definitely more generous than SQ. SQ restricts the sum of the size of the 2 bags to 273cm but Eva does not. SQ so ex but so \"ngiao\"

oh yes ... Lego is cheaper there, also cheaper in Europe, in fact it is almost cheaper everywhere when compared to Singapore.


the challenge is in bringing them back

Absolutely agree. A helicopter Lego city was going at under euro 20 in Paris!! Back home always more than a hundred for a big set. :nunchuk:

My last week's experience in Europe.


Singapore price S$59.90
Munich airport euro 27.99
Paris city area Lego shop euro 35.xx
Galaries Lafayette euro 22.99

For the same model

Can someone advise me where to buy Lego in the East Coast? Thanks

[tankee]

which part of East Coast?


If Florida, Lego Store is located at Downtown Disney

[Dnls_mum]

Actually you can get Lego is any Toys R Us store. Legoland is also in Florida.

I have found 2 shops online and will try to get it from there.

Toys R Us is expensive.....checked their prices and compared it with lego.com


Finally bought my Lego in Walmart

Hi,


Need help on the following :
* Recommendations on accomodations in LA/ LV/ San francisco/ San Diego. We’ve 5 pax. Looking for somewhere convenient (we intend to drive so need not be next door), safe environment and reasonably priced. If possible, big enough to accomodate all in a room. Pls share.
* For rental car - anyone has experience with the insurance options or watchouts? My observation is that insurance can be almost the same price as rental. Can we buy in Singapore for coverage in US, etc…?
* What are the must go places in west coast. We have around 15 days and the last we went was during our honeymoon.

Kindly share all the tips.
